Proverbios 6:27-35

27 ¿Puede un hombre poner fuego en su seno sin que arda su ropa?
28 ¿O puede caminar un hombre sobre carbones encendidos sin que se quemen sus pies?
29 Así es el que se llega a la mujer de su prójimo; cualquiera que la toque no quedará sin castigo.
30 No se desprecia al ladrón si roba para saciarse cuando tiene hambre;
31 mas cuando es sorprendido, paga siete veces; tiene que dar todos los bienes de su casa.
32 El que comete adulterio no tiene entendimiento; destruye su alma el que lo hace.
33 Heridas y verguenza hallará, y su afrenta no se borrará.
34 Porque los celos enfurecen al hombre, y no perdonará en el día de la venganza.
35 No aceptará ningún rescate, ni se dará por satisfecho aunque le des muchos presentes.

Proverbios 6:27-35 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 6

In this chapter the wise man dissuades from rash suretyship; exposes the sin of idleness; describes a wicked man; makes mention of seven things hateful to God; exhorts to attend to parental instructions and precepts, and cautions against adultery. Suretyship is described, Pr 6:1; and represented as a snare and a net, in which men are taken, Pr 6:2; and advice is given what to do in such a case, for safety in it, and deliverance from it, Pr 6:3-5; The sin of slothfulness is exposed, by observing the industry of the ant, Pr 6:6-8; by expostulating with the sluggard for his continuance in sloth, and by mimicking him, Pr 6:9,10; and by the poverty it brings upon him, Pr 6:11. Then a naughty wicked man is described, by his mouth, eyes, feet, fingers, and heart, whose ruin is sudden and inevitable, Pr 6:11-15. The seven things hateful to God are particularly named, Pr 6:16-19. And next the exhortation in some preceding chapters is reassumed, to attend to the instructions of parents; which will be found ornamental, pleasant, and useful, Pr 6:20-23. Especially to preserve from the lewd woman cautioned against, Pr 6:24,25; whose company is dissuaded from; on account of the extreme poverty and distress she brings persons to, and even danger of life, Pr 6:26; from the unavoidable ruin such come into, Pr 6:27-29; from the sin of uncleanness being greater than that of theft, Pr 6:30,31; from the folly the adulterer betrays; from the destruction of his soul, and the disgrace he brings on himself, Pr 6:32,33; and from the rage and irreconcilable offence of the husband of the adulteress, Pr 6:34,35.
